DAIS to focus on Shared Stewardship in 2025

The DAIS series will examine scholarship and/or practice of shared responsibility for and collaboration around cultural collections. The initiative explores partnership models, collections stewardship across community archives, Indigenous knowledge systems, and data reuse contexts.

Key questions include: Who shares responsibilities? Which communities participate? How are resources distributed? What partnership forms prove authentic and effective?

Planned speakers:

• Thuy Vo Dang (UCLA)
• Trevor Owens (American Institute of Physics)
• Estevan Rael-Galvez (Native Bound Unbound / SAR)
